Tainted Hope and Hidden Brilliance
When the world flows over its edges with tainted hope
And the cited wrongs have erred their way,
Exists the opportunity for the mind of brilliance
To leap from its hole and exclaim, "This is the time!"
And yet... such are the conditions of this manufactured span
Of misery and despair, and not in the slightest can we change
Others who have this capability. They have forgotted their role,
And so are we left to our own devices, to which we are surely doomed.
